(including both ends) with the following paragraphs: The bidders in an Auction are the players who have a non-withdrawn bid in that Auction. Priority is a strict total ordering over the bidders in an Auction. For two bidders with different bid amounts on their non-withdrawn bids, the bidder with the higher bid has higher priority than the other bidder; otherwise, the bidder whose non-withdrawn bid was placed earlier has higher priority than the other bidder. Upon the end of an Auction, for each lot, in the order they are to be awarded, the bidder with the highest priority in the Auction who is not yet the winner of a lot becomes the winner of the lot. If there are more lots than there are persons with non-withdrawn bids, the excess lots are not won by any person. See [0] for an explanation on what this does.

OFF: [Arbitor] CFJ 3832 Assigned to Trigon
The below CFJ is 3832. I assign it to Trigon. status: https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/#3832 === CFJ 3832 === CFJ 3828, which had the following statement, 'A recent rule named "A coin award" was enacted, increased the number of coins R. Lee owns by 1, and then repealed itself.' was a "CFJ about the legality or possibility of a game action" under rule 2553, such that if a judgement of PARADOXICAL was assigned to it for seven days, the caller of the CFJ would be eligible to win the game by announcement under rule 2553. == Caller:R. Lee Judge: Trigon == History: Called by R. Lee: 06 May 2020 04:16:24 Assigned to Trigon: [now] == Caller's Arguments: I adopt G's argument as to this CFJ which I include below (the rest of these words are eirs not mine) The CFJ statement began 'A recent rule named "A coin award" was enacted...' which is a passively voiced action (active voice would have been "Proposal XXX enacted a Rule..."). I think it's come up a couple times recently in CFJs, that mere use of the passive voice doesn't change the fact that there's an action with an actor? Further, parsing the statement a bit gives 'A recent rule ... increased the number of coins' which is definitely asking whether a rule succeeded in the action of coin-creation (a Rule creating a coin is definitely an action, right?) So is a past tense "did X do Y?" close enough to "it was POSSIBLE for X to do Y at the time it is purported to have happened?" I'd personally say yes because forcing the statement writing around possibility is a mess compared to the straightforward "did X happen". -- Arbitor's note: Substantial discussion in this thread: https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-discussion/2020-May/057403.html ==
